Enforce monotonicity for IncrementableMetrics

This change enforces that IncrementableMetrics should only monotonically
increase in value, and adds a new increment() method to increment by one, which is slightly faster than incrementBy (due to a lack of non-negative checking) in the common case that the counter should only be incremented by one.
